| drboot said: Most of his points are valid. The storyline of Halo 3 is quite weak and the game itself is quite unrealistic. Realism and narrative are perhaps the two most important aspects of a next generation video game (so please don't start naming decade old or wii games), and a game lacking a great story or a sense of realism is leaving a lot to be desired. I wouldn't say the game sucks, but those two elements do leave a gaping hole in what is the most hyped game in history. |
The storyline in Halo 3 wasn't weak, however it definately wasn't told as well as the first two, and left room for drastic improvement.
As for realism? So only WWII shooters are relevant? Because right now if realism is key, you're discounting the following from having one of the most important aspects of a next gen video game:
All Sci-Fi games
All Fantasy Games
Everything made by/for Nintendo Wii.
All sports games that allow you to make a custom character of greater than possible human abilities.
etc.
For a sci-fi shooter, I'd say the realism wasn't bad.
